EXPLAIN TWO WAYS IN WHICH THE WORK OF ANDREAS VESALIUS AND THE WORK OF JOHN HUNTER WERE SIMULAR
Answer:
Similar:
1. Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) and John Hunter (1728-1793) both had an enormous impact on the study of human anatomy.
2. Both of them believed that the path to knowledge in regard to human anatomy and physiology was through practical methods, by dissection, observation, and surgical experimentation.
Different:
1. Vesalius was a pioneer in the field of anatomy, doing original work that challenged centuries of previously accepted thought in the field. Hunter built on the tradition begun by Vesalius and developed knowledge of anatomy further.
2. Vesalius earned his doctorate at a prestigious university, the University of Padua, and then went on to became famous as a faculty member of that university. Hunter never completed a course of university studies in surgery. He started out by doing dissections for his brother (an obstetrician) and then learned surgery directly from a surgeon at a hospital (in London).
